Donation protected
Hi my name is Boudicca Scherazade and I am trying to help Mark Rimmel age 91. This is what happened
English star set decorator's apartment perished close to Buda Castle
Garden Bazaar.
The apartment was considered one of Budapest's most beautiful houses, and contained invaluable housing items, documents, and photos of historic relevance in the film industry. It belonged to Mark Rimmel 91, one of the most famous expats in Hungary, an English star set decorator, who decided to move to Budapest from London after making a film in the Hungarian capital.
The third-floor apartment was probably one of Budapest's most beautiful ones, located on Döbrentei Street. That is from where firefighters and officers of the disaster management authorities received an emergency call before midnight on Thursday.
The fire broke out in the kitchen
of the 91-year-old English set decorator. He tried to extinguish the fire but was unsuccessful. By the time the firefighters arrived, the apartment had been on fire, so their task was to save lives.
Unfortunately, the 100-sqm apartment was destroyed, but the disaster did not claim any lives.
Mark was rescued and is currently under medical surveillance in a Budapest
hospital since he suffered minor injuries.
Mark Rimmel is known for Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), Eragon (2006), and In the Name of the Father (1993). He decided to move to Budapest in 2006 after making the second film in the Hungarian capital.
